I am so sorry this took so long to get out. I just started Medical school so my writing time is really cut short. I hope you all enjoy this. Please Read and Review at your own pleasure.-----

The day was downcast but it didn't bother Serena. It had taken her two weeks to get the nerve to come back here and she was unable to move from where she was standing. Kneeling down she placed the roses on the ground in front of the cover stone a tear fell down her face as she looked at the writing Darien Chiba August 1998...."This time I'm bringing you flowers Darien." Serena held back the tears that were threatening to come and pulled herself up. No one knew how this happened but it was a shock to everyone. Serena felt the worst of them all, she was unable to bring him back this time and she felt as if she had failed him.

Walking out of the cemetery Serena started walking to the park and sat down on their bench. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. When the dust had settled the black tower was gone and the bodies of the scouts were scattered all over the ground. She remembered waking up and the other starting to move. They were all hurt but okay. Wiseman was nowhere in site but no one remembered how he died just that he was gone. When she was healing her friends that's when things got crazy. Mercury was checking on the boys when she told something to Mars and Serena was being held back by Mars. Refusing to believe it she ran to Mercury to find Darien's lifeless body. After that she was stuck in a numb state. They had called 911 after they were back to normal and while they were waiting Serena tried to bring him back but all the powers she had as Pearl were gone now. When the Paramedics arrived they said there was nothing they could do for him.

The girls tried to console her but she was cold inside. After a week of crying and not eating Richie finally convinced Irene to take Serena to the hospital. By the time the funeral came around Serena wouldn't take no for an answer and she went even against her parents complaints for her health. That was two week ago. She still hadn't come to terms with both of their losses but she never really would. Not only had she lost both of the men in her life she didn't know how. It was like someone had taken a part of her with that last victory and she wished she could go back. As the sky finally started to pour Serena could only laugh. Even Mother Nature was telling her to go home.

Serena ran into her house and put her raincoat next to the door. She could hear her family in living room watching some comedy show. Sammy was laughing so hard he was snorting and Richie wasn't doing much better. Serena smiled at the scene, her son and her brother, so alike yet so different. What was she going to do about Richie? According to him she hasn't met his father yet but Serena doubted she could ever care for anyone as much as she did for Diamond and Darien. Deciding to go to her room instead of dampening their good moods Serena headed upstairs. Her mother was walking down the hall with an arm load of laundry.

"Hi sweety, is everything okay?"

"Yeah Mom, I just need to take a rest."

"Okay honey, I will wake you up for dinner. By the way, there was a letter in the mail for you. I left it on your desk."

"Thanks Mom."

Sure enough there was a letter on her desk but Serena wasn't up for reading it yet. It was probably another sympathy letter from the people at the arcade that knew Darien. Getting a dry set of clothes she sat at the desk and just stared at the letter. It looked a bit bulky for a simple note. Curiosity getting the better of her she opened the letter. Inside were two letters. The first one was from some Attorney in Tokyo.

Dear Ms. Turner,

My name is Del Patton. I was the attorney for your late friend Darien Chiba. He spoke highly of you and I am truly sorry for your loss, he was a great man. Before Darien's accident he had come to me to change his will and he left you his beneficiary. I didn't contact you sooner out of respect and also because I have been looking for Darien's family. He has one living cousin who has agreed to control the estate for you until you are of legal age. I know you are in mourning but Mr. Zavad as well as myself would like to meet with you. Enclosed is copy of the letter Darien was going to send you explaining everything as well as my personal number. We look forward to meeting with you.

Sincerely,

Del Patton

On the bottom of the letter a phone number was written and that was it. When did he do this? Serena carefully folded the letter and put it in the top drawer of her desk. Darien wouldn't have wanted her to be so sad. She would go the next day to see this Mr. Patton and start over again, just like he would have wanted her to.

The next day Serena got off the bus down town and checked the address in her hand. How Darien ever afforded this lawyer was beyond her, this was the cooperate side of town. Fixing her jacket she walked down the block and found the legal offices for Mr. Patton. A neon blue mustang was sitting by the sidewalk with a rental tag and Serena could only assume it was Darien's cousin. She had no idea how she was going to face this man but she would do it without breaking down.

After being sent to his office Serena sat and looked at the photos of Mr. Patton and his family. He looked like a happy man, someone you could relate to without a hitch. Little did she know her entire concept of fate was going to be re-written. Mr. Patton walked into the office shook her hand, in the doorway she could see the outline of who was apparently Darien's cousin but she couldn't make out a face. "Ms. Turner, I am glad you could make it here today."

"Thank you, I had to get out of the house anyway. He wouldn't have wanted me to close myself to the world."

"This is Jayden Zavad, he's from England." Mr. Patton moved out of the way and Serena felt like her whole world was spinning out of control. Jayden was a perfect copy of Endymion in the silver millennium. His hair was a shade of dark purple that border lined on black and his eyes were deep sea blue. Where Endymion was clean cut and proper Jayden looked like he didn't belong in a suit at all. His hair was long and falling over is face in front but not long enough to be improper. Around his neck he wore a small cross Serena was sure somewhere he had a tattoo. To finish the picture of a fish out of water he wore a single silver stud on his left ear. Serena shook his hand but she had a nagging feeling she knew him. He kept looking at her like he expected her to recognize him at any moment but she couldn't figure out why.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm sorry it had to be under these circumstances."

"I'm sorrier for you; you never got to meet your cousin. I know Darien would have been very happy to meet you. He always wished he knew his family."

"I think he would have too. When I found out about a living cousin over here I came as soon as possible. I came too late it seems."

"Ms. Turner, Mr. Zavad I think we should get to the task at hand, we do have a lot to do." They both nodded in agreement and sat down but Serena still had that feeling like she should have known him. Her thoughts were rapidly pulled away as Mr. Patton started to talk about what Darien had left to her. He had left her his entire estate including his apartment and his bank account, he had made her the second holder of the account and had provided a savings to pay for college where ever she decided to go. Since she was still a minor his cousin Jayden was given power of attorney to give her the money until she was older.

After the meeting Serena thanked Mr. Patton and started to get her things together. Jayden held open the door for Serena and cleared his throat to get her attention. "Mrs. Turner do you mind if I drive you home?"

"That's fine, I don't feel like waiting for the bus anyway." On the drive home Serena sat in silence and watched the scenery around her. Jayden stopped at the second light and just looked at her.

"You always act this cold to people you know?"

"Excuse me? I don't think you have a right to say that. I don't know you at all. You just came into my life today. Considering what has happened to me in the last few months I think I have the right to keep to myself."

"Why don't you give me a chance then to show you I am not a psycho or anything. The princess I remember was much more open to new faces." Serena froze at his words, why did he call her princess? She tried to shrug it off so he wouldn't see it rattled her.

"I have no idea what you are talking about. Why is god's name would you call me a princess? That is just ridiculous."

"You have no idea who I am do you? I've come a long way to come back to you, I swore I would always protect you." Jayden leaned over and opened the glove compartment of his car. There was a small box with silver trim on the side. "Serena, open the box, and before you say anything just look at what is inside of there." Jayden started the engine again and Serena took the box from the glove compartment. There was a strange design on the cover. Releasing the clasp on the side Serena opened to box to find a moon pendent necklace in the box. It was shining more than any normal piece of gold would, there were tiny sparkling diamonds around the edge. It looked familiar to Serena but she couldn't place it. When she turned it around the inscription made her go white. To my beloved Endymion, you have my heart for all eternity. "A certain lady gave that to me a long time ago upon our engagement. I never got to thank her for it though; we were separated that same night."

"How... I saw you die twice! I buried Darien, you can't be him. If this is some kind of joke this is a really sick one and I don't appreciate it!" Jayden stopped the car in the park and killed the engine.

"Serenity...." Serena had it, she blew all her anger on this guy.

"I don't know who you are but I am out of here. I have been through more grief than anyone should be aloud to bear!" Serena went for the door handle but Jayden grabbed her hand before she could run. "Let go of me..."

"Not till you hear me out. Yes Darien did die but he wasn't me. When your mother sent us to the future my soul had already started to find a new body. Part of me went to a young boy on the moon and the other half went with Darien. When both of them died my soul was finally able to be complete."

"What a bunch of bullshit! If that were true then that means you were born a month ago. Give me a break I am not that stupid."

"No, I was born years ago when Darien got into the accident that killed his parents. Serena look into your heart, you know I am right. You yourself were in love with both Diamond and Darien."

"Diamond was..."

"Yes, he was my alter ego. I remember everything from his point of view. He loved you with all his heart, he gave up his life because it meant your light would still shine on in this world." Serena sat back in the chair and tears started to fall down her face. He had to be him, who else would have known those things. When she looked into his eyes she saw what he was talking about. She didn't look into his soul before, she didn't want to get close to him after all the trauma in her life but when she looked deeper she saw his soul.

"Endymion..." Serena jumped into his arms and started to cry onto his chest. All the grief she had been holding in came out in a torrent of tears. Jayden held her in his arm and ran his hand in her hair to comfort her.

"It's alright Serenity I am here now. I'm never going to leave you again."
